[QUOTE="Tobold, post: 7482070, member: 6691663"] I think I didn’t explain it well enough. The hiding part was completely within the rules: Player moves away, around a corner to break line of sight, the uses a bonus action to hide. The question is about what happens next round, when he pops his head around that same corner again and uses a ranged weapon to fire into combat. What the players think is that they were effectively hiding, and thus they get advantage on their attack roll, for attacking while hidden. And they believe they can repeat that every round. My take is that yes, they are hidden while out of sight around the corner. But unless they have a way to fire through walls or around corners, they have to move into line of sight again to fire into combat. Even if they were well hidden before, moving into line of sight breaks the hidden status, and thus the attack has no advantage. Note that I might allow for advantage if the player is hidden around the corner before the monster arrives, and thus the monster doesn’t expect an attack from around the corner. But once the monster has seen the player moving out of sight, it will still be wary of him coming back, and thus not be unprepared for such an attack. [/QUOTE]
